Duke Liang Mansion in the Western Capital.
No matter how chaotic it was outside, the heavily guarded Duke Liang Mansion always gave a sense of ironclad security.
However, despite this, the old and young women inside the mansion spent a restless night filled with anxiety.
Madam Cen spent the entire night kneeling in her small Buddha hall, praying for the Zhao Family men who were quelling the rebellion outside. It wasn't until the next morning when her two daughters-in-law excitedly ran to her, informing her that the battles in the Capital City had subsided, that her heart eased slightly. With the careful assistance of her maid and her daughters-in-law, she was gently helped up.
Mrs. Pei noticed the dark circles under her mother-in-law's eyes, frowned slightly, and said, "Mother, the battle has finally paused for now, and you haven't slept all night. Why don't you go rest in your room?"
